Catherine is a graduate student pursing her MPH in epidemiology at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. A recent graduate of Columbia University, Catherine is passionate about applying her interdisciplinary background in psychology, statistics, and human rights toward translational research and community health programming innovations.
